Answer

For Choviyar Pachkhan, you may say:

“Chauvihāraṁ paccakkhāmi.”

Meaning: “I take the vow to give up all four types of food and drink.”

Explanation

Choviyar / Chauvihar means renouncing all four types of intake, traditionally understood as:

• Ashan – solid food
• Paan – drink/water
• Khaadim – chewable/eatable items
• Swaadim – taste-based items

So, after taking Choviyar Pachkhan, one does not take food or water for the chosen period.

Spiritual Understanding

Choviyar is considered a strong discipline of restraint. It helps reduce attachment to taste, strengthens self-control, and supports the Jain path of samyam and tapasya.

Takeaway

Say “Chauvihāraṁ paccakkhāmi” with awareness, devotion, and the intention to observe the vow sincerely.
